  Annote =       {The effects of using dedicated I/O nodes or
                  overlapping I/O and computation on the I/O nodes are
                  analyzed. Evaluates also how background I/O traffic
                  interferes with other parallel applications running
                  concurrently. The experimental results show that a
                  correct placement of the I/O servers can provide up
                  to 20\% increase in the available I/O
                  bandwidth. Some guidelines for applications and I/O
                  servers mapping on large-scale clusters are given.},
